The National Quiz Bee is the longest-running national academic quiz competition in the Philippines.[1] Starting out as a national spelling bee in 1977, the National Quiz Bee awarded champions in mathematics, science, general information, current events, and Philippine history. The show aired on IBC from 1996 to 2001 and Studio 23 from 2005 to 2013, hosted by Eddie Lacsi, Bingbing Josue, Pettizou Tayag, Atom Araullo, Spanky Enriquez, and Danny Fajardo.
The National Quiz Bee was organized by the Quiz Bee Foundation. The program received support from the private sector, which mostly provided for the prizes and TV coverage. The National Quiz Bee was also endorsed and assisted by various agencies of the Philippine government, including the Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), the Senate of the Philippines, and the Office of the President.
In 1993, in consonance with the Philippines 2000 program of President Fidel V. Ramos, the competition now included high school and college students, and the name was changed to the National Super Quiz Bee.
Summit of the Super Quiz Bee was a multi-day camp (usually 4 days) composed with tours, seminars, and fellowships for regional champions and respective teacher-coaches competing in the National Finals.[6]
The National Finals competition was the highlight of the summit, wherein the various contestants and their teacher-coaches dressed in traditional regional attire during the stage competition. The National Finals was open to the public.[7]
In addition to the annual National Quiz Bee, the Quiz Bee has also organized ASEAN and World Quiz Bees. National Champions of the immediately previous National Quiz Bee represent the country against competitors from ASEAN-member countries and worldwide, respectively.
Throughout its existence, the National Quiz Bee has been hosted by numerous people, including the following. It is common for them to share a single episode, with one acting as quizmaster, while the other recap scores and make other announcements:
Responding to the social media storm, PBB delivered housemates Dustine, Luke, Gabb, Maxine, and Tiff to the Ayala Museum where I gave them a quick tour of the dioramas. They are the same age as my students, their questions and comments both on and off-cam demonstrated they knew some Philippine history. Perhaps, we should stop using a quiz bee format to measure historical knowledge. They got 8/9 quiz questions correctly not because I am a good teacher, but they were immersed in the Ayala Museum where the visual aids were literally larger than life.
